May I suggest flying Singapore Airlines into Davao,your not going to find tourists down there as the island (Mindanao) is a little wild in parts, terrorists and suchlike, but you can visit the eagle sanctuary, climb Mt Apo, go to a tiny paradise island 30 minutes from the city to visit a HUGE bat colony, there's perfect white sand and palm trees. You can go to camiguin which isn't really far, got volcanoes and hotsprings, far better than cebu. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your not going to get as many tourists in the Philippines as say Thailand because it's a fragmented archipelago and a bit dangerous in parts, also not as geared up to tourism as Thailand and pinoy food is pretty crap. Try Myanmar or Indonesia maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Philippines your locked in to be honest, but if your set on going gimme a shout and I will give you a few suggestions of decent beaches. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
